Let's talk about hepatitis C positive test.

HCV antibody positive, rna negative HCV antibody positive or negative.

Hepatitis C antibody positive RNA negative was infected with hepatitis C virus in the past, but now the hepatitis C virus has been eliminated, and there will be hepatitis C antibodies in the body, and this antibody will exist in most people's lives. It is the most commonly used indicator for screening hepatitis C. This indicator needs to be checked before surgery or blood donation, but if RNA is positive, it is a patient with hepatitis C and needs active antiviral treatment. It may also be that the patient has been infected with hepatitis C recently, but the virus in the patient's body cannot be detected by the current instruments. This is the infection window period.

Positive antibody to hepatitis C indicates that the body has been infected with hepatitis C within a certain period of time, which can only indicate that it has been infected with hepatitis C. As for whether antiviral treatment is needed, whether hepatitis C is contagious, whether the virus is replicating, it is necessary to further detect hepatitis C gene and hepatitis C virus and classify hepatitis C gene.

The test results show that patients with hepatitis C have turned negative after active treatment, or they may be normal at all, that is to say, the test value is zero and there is no hepatitis C infection. However, if the antibody binding to hepatitis C is positive, the virus amount can be detected, and the patient can basically be diagnosed as hepatitis C. At present, oral direct antiviral drugs are the first choice, and interferon injection can also be considered, and the cure rate of some genotypes can reach over 95%. Therefore, once hepatitis C virus infection is diagnosed, it is suggested that early treatment can be resumed as soon as possible, but the disadvantage is that direct antiviral drugs are more expensive.

If it is positive, antiviral treatment is needed; If simple hepatitis C antibody is positive.

However, hepatitis C virus is negative and does not need treatment. The shadow of hepatitis C antibody indicates that the body is not infected with hepatitis C virus.
